Abstract:

Translation for the theatre is often considered to hold a marginal status
between literary translation and adaptation for the stage. As a result, this
book argues that studies of this complex activity tend to take either a
textual or performative approach. After exploring the history of translation
theory through these lenses, Massimiliano Morini proposes a more totalizing
view of 'theatre translation' as the sum of operations required to transform
one theatre act into another, and analyses three complex Western case
histories in light of this all-encompassing definition.

Combining theory with practice, Morini investigates how traditional ideas on
translation – from Plautus and Cicero to the early 20th century – have been
applied in the theatrical domain. He then compares and contrasts the
inherently textual viewpoint of post-humanistic translators with the more
performative approaches of contemporary theatrical practitioners, and
chronicles the rise of performative views in the third millennium. Positioning
itself at the intersection of past and present, as well as translation studies
and theatre semiotics, "Theatre Translation" provides a full diachronic survey
of an age-old activity and a burgeoning academic field.
